If a Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) server is being used in the organization, reputation for files and certificates is fetched from the TIE server. The reputation values control execution at endpoints and are displayed on the Application Control pages on the McAfee ePO console. If the GTI is being used, reputation for files and certificates is fetched from the McAfee GTI. For both methods, the administrator can review the reputation values and make informed decisions for inventory items in the enterprise.
